CocoaPods Privacy Manifests

About

This skill streamlines the creation and management of PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files within CocoaPods-based projects. It provides comprehensive guidance on declaring Required Reasons APIs, tracking domains, and data collection practices required by Apple for iOS 17 and Xcode 15+. By automating the inclusion of these manifests in podspecs via resource bundles, it helps developers prevent App Store rejections and maintain transparency in third-party SDK integration while following Apple's latest privacy-sensitive API guidelines.

Key Features

• Configures podspec resource bundles for seamless manifest inclusion
• Supports data collection and tracking domain declarations
• Automates validation patterns for platform-specific SDKs (iOS, macOS)
• Provides accurate Required Reasons API declaration codes for User Defaults and File Timestamps
• Generates standards-compliant PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files
• 39 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Updating a legacy CocoaPods library to comply with iOS 17 privacy requirements
• Adding Required Reasons API justifications to an existing SDK
• Configuring multiple privacy manifests for cross-platform (iOS/macOS) podspecs
